Anyways, I'm majoring in biotechnology and minoring in chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HavilyRose Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 homeschoolmom- I know that where I went, the adolescent(secondary) education students received a BA and the childhood (elementary) received a BS. IF you were studying adolescent ed you took less education and more subject specific, where as a childhood ed major studied more education. I don't know if it is the same everywhere or not.

[/quote] If I see something humorous, am I reading too much into that phrase double major: BA in journalism (no concentration at the time - but I did have a lot of fun at the radio station - and the newpaper) and politics (no pretension that it was science) . . . followed by a JD . . . followed by a long period of study at the school of hard knocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
